huh that o suzanna is not bad really! but it's not really the song it's just like he wrote a neil young crazy horse song and used the lyrics to the old song
― konybrony (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, totally. really, if that is all amped up with distorto guitars and long solos, i can dig it.

what else would a crazy horse album be?
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:38 (twelve years ago) link
Greendale?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:39 (twelve years ago) link
o, yeah. even though greendale is mentioned in all the press for the new one i forget that it was crazy horse.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:44 (twelve years ago) link
even though molina and talbot play on it, it still seems weird to call it a crazy horse album.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:45 (twelve years ago) link
Without Sampedro (and with Molina using hot rods instead of sticks), it barely feels like Crazy Horse. Good record, though. Definitely prefer it to Living With War.

I'd prefer an album of this stuff to an album of "Greensleeves" variants.

An enticing description, but we can't actually listen? Subscribers Only, maybe--?

If by "enticing" you mean "sneaky, deceptive" description. Fuck John R. Mulvey.

Young and Crazy Horse can be simultaneously horny-handed yet elegiac.

lol yeah that is a weird britisher expression, i think. not meaning that your hands are lookin' for sex, but that you've been out working in the fields or something. the british!

tbf i wouldn't be surprised if neil was horny-handed in the lookin' for sex sense
― 1986 tallest hair contest (Z S), Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
Well, I was just skimming, squinting, translating from rockcriticese--looks like it's along the lines of whar I'd hoped for (though hopefully not *too* "elegiac," prob meaning moon-eyed warbly; raunch it up, please)
― dow, Thursday, 29 March 2012 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
wait, what does horny-handed mean?!

it's when you have sex a bunch but you never wash your hands, and other people can start to smell it

A wellknown gnome like pop star, angry that Port had spurned his advances one night at the Whisky, had threatened to have her “taken care of.”
quoted from Shakey. Who was the gnome-like pop star?

You might have to narrow that down a little.

At the point I've read to in the book, that's all they give up. I don't expect it will be revisited. Just wondering if anyone had any insight.

Yeah, and "Captain Whoopee", who became Neil's "boat buddy", and bled him for $$$$ while looking for a second boat.

I like thinking that S. M. Collier walks around sharing brief anecdotes about late one night at the Whisky in 1972 apropos of nothing in particular.

Not looking so much at this bootleg, but the PICTURE! Did not realize he went through a phase in which he basically established the platonic archetype of a Phishhead.

3 out of 8 songs in Time Fades Away mention Canada: "back in canada i spent my days", "Now I'm goin' back to Canada", "When we got to Winnipeg"
― Eccsame the Photon Guys (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 12 November 2012 19:31 (eleven years ago) link
I wonder if this is Neil's highest Canada ratio
Good call. I'm trying to think of others: "Helpless," "Ambulance Blues," "Born in Ontario" on the new album...must be forgetting a few.

Oh man, a google image search for "Cowgirl in the Sand" results in some horrific, horrific fucking garbage.
Anyone got a copy of the Liverpool show from '73? My best googling has only yielded broken links.

Sorry, that's Manchester '73. I've only ever heard the Manchester and London shows from that tour.

Oh wait - I have the Toronto show too.

Just curious--where did he play Toronto in '73? Was it Massey Hall or somewhere bigger?
― clemenza, Thursday, 15 November 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
my info says Maple Leaf Gardens. May not be correct.
